CHILDREN are being asked to design a sparkling star which will decorate Bolton's Early Learning Centre this Christmas -- and raise money for the NSPCC Full Stop campaign.

For every star, the Deansgate shop will donate 10p to the charity which aims to reduce cruelty to children.

Nationwide, almost 100,000 stars were created last year raising £10,000 for the charity.

Youngsters are asked to pick up templates at the stores and prize winning entries will be put on display in the window. Winners will be able to choose a toy up to the value of £10.
